It's likely our last day at the beach. Every time I visit, I always get a little heartbroken I don't live on the coast. But at least I'm not so far away it's not a feasible day's drive!
Looking forward to DS's one year photos on Thursday!
seamonster how are you feeling today? Did LO sleep well again last night? And hopefully you did too?
Another night of insomnia. DD and I were both in bed until 8 this morning and yet I feel sooooo tired.
Ugh sorry you didn't sleep. The beach was crazy super windy yesterday but still fun. DS's sunglasses fit close to his head so they protected his eyes from the sand, and once he got used to the sensation of whirling sand blowing on his skin, he played happily.

lilyelayne glad that it sounds like the beach trip ended up being good.
I'm not sure that DH actually has HFM, he says his throat hurts but he hasn't had any of the other symptoms - however I definitely have it, and this rash SUCKS. My hands and feet kind of have that pins and needles feeling they get when they fall asleep / are a little itchy and the spots between my fingers just hurt. It just started coming through on my feet last night but so far I don't have it on my face and I'm hoping it stays that way. I came into the office since I was home so much last week but I think I am going to head home early. If I do get it on my face I'm definitely staying home.
DD is definitely feeling better, but today is picture day at day care and while the rash on her face looks a lot better I think its unlikely we'll be buying the pictures.
lilyelayne it was fun! I just bought a pair of black leggings. Boy are they comfy! I didn't see any kids stuff there so no matching outfits for me and DD. Oh well! Glad you're having fun at the beach despite all the wind!
DH built a bench for at the end of our bed yesterday so now of course I'm restyling the whole room. I'm excited, I love doing this stuff.
tortor4 I've been looking at storage stuff for all of DDs toys but everything is so expensive I'm trying to talk H into building something then I want to redecorate my livingroom! It's been the same since we moved in 4 years ago and it gets me all excited just thinking about it!
Not looking forward to my 1 random day shift in the middle of my usual night shift work schedule this week. Usually they are pretty good about not doing that. I'm not sure what happened

We have this toy box in our living room and I like it. DS's nursery is beach themed so it would go well in there too. It's soft sided so you can overload it and make it misshapen, but it holds a lot. DS can open and close it, and there's no heavy lid to slam on his fingers.
My next home project is getting some spice racks to make book storage for DS.

We're at 51 books on our 1000 books before kindergarten! badw0lf I was wavering on counting duplicates, and you're right, we've got a lot of time, so I didn't count rereads.
So how are you guys cutting LO's fingernails now? I still rock Celia to sleep so that's when I normally cut them but lately even in her sleep she pulls her hands away from me when I try.

After her bath on the changing table usually. She's mostly pretty good about but sometimes I do have to hold her down with my arms.

Re: toy storage. We have two of these: Tot Tutors Kids' Toy Organizer With Storage Bins, Primary Colors. They aren't too expensive on amazon, hold a lot, and have held up pretty well. I also like that you can see all the toys so none get lost at the bottom of the barrel.

I put Elmo's World or some Sesame Street clip on YouTube on my phone and he holds that in one hand while I clip the other.
Hugs dreemkin, sending some positive thoughts your way!
I am probably going to have to step into work tomorrow to finish something up, since my boss wasn't there today and I need his help with one last thing. Which means V would be coming up with.

I sit her in my lap with a YouTube video on my phone (Elmore has 4 ducks is a fave) and trim them.
